The problem with swearing “You will never
Hear me say ‘I love you’” is how much that
Idiom, nasty temptation, finds clever
Ways to insert itself “I like you” or
“Putain je t’aime” not to mention combat:
My white palms are cold, might as well put your
Forehead to it, nothing personal mate.
Abrupt passions for L word: lever, late,
Largess, lat and lore, still, he’ll never guess,
Aren’t I tough for avoiding that excess?

Lol.  I'll be the first to admit I don't get this.  Not sure yet if it's just that deep, or i'm just that stupid.  Leaning towards the former.  Still, I agree with what I understood of the beginning.  It seems a very good work.. just wish I understood it's meaning... oh... excess.... hmm.... *ponders*

i think i get this, and i think i like it, my fav part, "arent i tough for avoiding that excess" i think what this poem means (tell me if im right) is  he'll never guess that he loves you because you havent said the "L" word yet, and your avoiding the "excess" of the "L" word.... ??? i dunno hahahhaha

yes Baby D, that's the sum of it, except that my actions and alternatives amount to say " i love you". so the poem is showing how pointless it is to avoid something that just spalshes out through other windows
